Method
 

Preparation
  1. Use leftover chicken if you have it. If cooking fresh, season with salt, pepper, and a touch of garlic powder, then grill or pan sear until cooked through.
  2. In a large bowl, combine chopped romaine, shredded or sliced chicken, a sprinkle of parmesan, and just enough dressing to lightly coat. Toss gently.
Filling and Wrapping
  1. Warm your tortilla in a dry skillet for 10 to 15 seconds per side or microwave for 10 seconds.
  2. Add the salad mixture down the center of the tortilla, keeping fillings in a neat line.
  3. Fold the sides in, then roll from the bottom up, making sure it's snug but not overpacked.
Toasting and Serving
  1. Toast the wrap seam side down in a skillet for 1 to 2 minutes per side until lightly crisp.
  2. Slice in half on the diagonal and serve immediately, or wrap in parchment for lunch on the go.

Notes

Keep components separate for meal prep to maintain crispness. Try using different proteins, cheeses, or tortillas for variations.
